From a post on Slashdot:
  **         Duh!
  **         by Anonymous Coward on Tuesday April 06, @06:38PM EDT
  **         The key phrase is led to believe.
  **         Since Linux's networking code is completely new (not from
old BSD code) it took a long time to        **catch up. Now it's quite a
bit faster then free bsd
  **         (and the benchmarks prove it, in fact, Linux has the
fastest network performance of any general purpose OS).

Anyone want to confirm or deny what this person is saying? I've heard
both sides argued, but not by anyone who is going beyond uninformed or
at least semi-uninformed bickering.  Anyone have a more informed
perspective on the issue?

        useless extension to a minor patch release for
        32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a
        16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system
        originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor,
        written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for
        1 bit of competition.
